Am I the only one feeling completely overwhelmed when visiting markets around the globe?

I absolutely LOVE visiting authentic bazaars/food markets/souks and always plan to be ‘oh so authentic’ and buy everything the locals are buying. However I always leave empty-handed… Once in the place I start panicking, not sure what to get, worrying that I will buy something I hate and leave disappointed with the feeling that I missed out on something.
